Pittards has developed a new flame retardant leather, FireblocTM that not only offers all benefits inherent to Pittards WR100X process (water resistance, softness, strength) but also provides high levels of protection against fire hazards whilst still retaining a high degree of dexterity and flexibility essential to the fire services around the world.
Ignition resistance
The leather is chemically treated to self extinguish once out of a flame. It stops burning within 2 seconds and glowing within 5 seconds, thus reducing the risk of re-igniting from flammable liquids in close proximity.
Unique fit and feel
Pittards leather provides excellent flexibility and dexterity for overall comfort.
Water resistance
Pittards FireblocTM offers enhanced insulation benefits by limiting water uptake to keep hands dry and warm at all times. Low water uptake also guarantees overall comfort and sustained dexterity.
Abrasion resistance
Pittards FireblocTM leather has been specially developed to provide maximum strength and enhanced abrasion resistance.
Breathability
Pittards FireblocTM has been processed to guarantee unparalleled breathability and comfort at all times.
Substance Range: .85mm - 1.30mm
